W Magazine published this short article about a mysterious upcoming movie, which the well-known director made using only amateur tools.

The last that we heard from Steven Soderbergh, he’d given up on the idea of retiring from directing films to work with everyone from Daniel Craig to Adam Driver to Riley Keough to Katie Holmes to Hilary Swank on Logan Lucky, his first movie after a five-year hiatus, which is out in August. Now, we know just how un-retired Soderbergh has been: He also shot a film in secret on his iPhone, à la Sean Baker and his highly acclaimed 2015 movie Tangerine.

Like Soderbergh’s camera, though, the cast looks to be scaled down in ‘Unsane’, as the film is currently titled, compared to his upcoming summer blockbuster; so far only Claire Foy and Juno Temple have been confirmed as stars, though both definitely have the chops to carry the drama even when resources are limited. (Foy has won both SAG and Golden Globe awards for her role as a coming-of-age Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s The Crown, while Temple has recovered from ‘Vinyl’‘s cancellation with an upcoming Woody Allen movie also starring Kate Winslet, and the James Franco-directed film ‘The Pretenders’.)

General audiences still have to wait until July 15 to see Woody Allen’s new movie “Café Society,” but, per usual, the director isn’t wasting anytime in getting together his next movie. Joining previously announced cast members Kate Winslet and Jim Belushi are Justin Timberlake and Juno Temple, which makes the movie’s ensemble primarily newbies to Allen’s filmography. The new film begins shooting this fall in New York and is rumored to be a 1950s-set period drama.

The film will take Timberlake back to the past following his role in the Coen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis.” He voices the lead character opposite Anna Kendrick in DreamWorks Animation’s “Trolls,” which hits theaters November 4. Temple, meanwhile, earned some of the best reviews of her career for her turn in HBO’s rock n’ roll drama “Vinyl.” The show was renewed for a second season, but HBO recently cancelled it after months of struggling ratings and poor reviews for the show overall.

In addition to “Café Society,” which stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, Allen is also working on a television series for Amazon. The show, starring the likes of Miley Cyrus and Elaine May, is currently in post-production. No release date has been set.
